Is the colouring touched up?

Hi guys As some of you know I have been searching for this hippo for a while now. I have noticed something of interest.I have never seen a hippo that looks like this, not even remotely like it.

The only one that came close was this...

Otherwise all of them are a boring plain grey, with perhaps a small touch of this shading. There are actually quite a few around for me to choose from, but I have been waiting to see if I can find a nice colouring. The one above is too expensive for me.So my question is.. Do they actually touch up their photos to make their products more desirable? Will I find one with more decent colouring or is this a wild goose chase?

Oh, absolutely they will make the photo look better than the real thing. It's a marketing ploy, anything to get you to buy the product.

I personally have never seen that hippo with pink shading unfortunately, this was a disappointment to me too.

Here's the stock photo for the Mojo Fun Arab Mare in Foal:[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I always loved your photos Lee Ann This just proves it, you should photograph these animals for the stores, you really should Well, I guess that is dissapointing but not very surprising. It will aid the search though as now I am not looking for something that isn't there
